Magpie Monday - Picture Perfect

The most I ever really spend in the charity shop is a fiver unless it happens to be there are lots of bargains in there on the day I wander in. This week I managed to stick to my £5 budget and got all this...

I always pick up framed prints if I spot any I like as I love to create wall montages. I picked up a couple of cute ones this week for my bedroom.
I love this cute doggy print. There is something familiar about it
but not sure what. I think my Mum may have had a print by the same artist.

I love owls and when we lived in North Devon our neighbour had one as a pet and its gentle hoot hoot each night would send me off into a deep sleep. I would sooooo love a pet owl.

I've been on the look out for some coasters for a while now and I love the vintage floral design of these, but most of all I love the colours.

My next find was actually Papa's. He does most of the cake baking in our house and he is pretty damn good at it too although I do make the Christmas cake each year so this very retro 80's weighing scale is perfect for larger cakes and puddings...Yum!

Wow- you managed to stay on budget and still walk away with a cart full of treasures. Great dog print for either a bedroom or a family room with fireplace. Love the vibrant red of the scales and I know you'll find a lot of used for it. when not in use you can store light things inside of it. (Not to keep pressure on the springs.)
